Stanley County Courthouse is lit up in green. This is for Operation Green Light for Veterans. Stanley County has great respect, admiration, and the utmost gratitude for all of the men and women who have selflessly served our country and our community in the Armed Forces.
November 1-11, 2023, the Stanley County Courthouse will be lit up in green to recognize the importance of honoring all those who made immeasurable sacrifices to preserve freedom. We encourage everyone to display a green light in a window of their business or residence.
I read a quote the other day, “We don’t know them all, but we owe them all and thank them all!” I don’t know who wrote it, but it says a lot.
